Inhibitory Effect of 7-O-butyl Naringenin on Growth of Helicobacter pylori ATCC 26695

  • Published : 2006.06.30

Abstract

The antimicrobial effect of a novel flavonoid (7-O-butyl naringenin) on Helicobacter pylori ATCC 26695 and its inhibitory effects on the urease activity of the strain were evaluated by comparing with quercetin and naringenin. H. pylori was cultured with brain heart infusion supplemented with 5% horse serum at $37^{\circ}C$ under 10% $CO_2$ atmosphere and the inhibitory effects of flavonoids against the strain were detected using micro-plate methods. During 12 hr of incubation time, the optical densities of phenol red reduced (pink color) in the urea broth by producing ammonia were detected at 560 nm with a spectrophotometer. The results indicated that both quercetin and 7-O-butyl naringenin were effective against the growth of H. pylori. Moreover, inhibitory effect of 7-O-butyl naringenin on the growth of H. pylori was about two-fold higher than quercetin at the same concentration. With regard to H. pylori urease activity, 7-O-butyl naringenin had a greater inhibitory effect than did naringenin or quercetin at the same concentration.
